95 Chapter 90: How Laughable, What Right Do I Have To Be Arrogant?

It had been approximately six months since I came to this world.

How did I feel about my sudden transmigration?

I was confused and concerned but I didn't really have any fear. I could only be grateful that it was the Classroom of the Elite of all the worlds I could've been thrust into.

So what happened when I realised I was completely safe?

I indulged myself.

It had been a very long time since I was cooped up in my own room. My mother and sister died quite unexpectedly while my relationship with my father was far from the best.

Maybe, just maybe... if I wasn't his flesh and blood he would've killed me

What a conundrum.

But it couldn't be helped. When I was sixteen I realised who and what I was.

I realised just how depraved I was.

When my sister died of illness I was struck with grief.

But within that grief I found myself realising that I had gained a tremendous opportunity.

An opportunity to emotionally manipulate my mother into giving me sexual favours and suffice to say I succeeded.

While there was no penetration we did almost everything else.

The stubborn mother refused to cross the line that would completely destroy the mother-son relationship.

What was depravity—?

This.

I won't deny it, I'm a very self-fulfilling person. My greatest happiness is finding the greatest satisfaction for myself and funnily enough billions of people were like me.

At most, I was at the extreme end of the spectrum.

But of course, the horny 16-year-old didn't realise how big of a mistake that was. There was so much wrong that could go because of this lust and yet the young Tatsuya didn't realise it.

Looking back at it, I've changed a lot in the past three years yet I'm still the same.

It was hard to explain but maybe someday I'll have words to describe myself.

When a friend accidentally found out about my familial situation he didn't make a joke like he usually would on sexual topics.

But he looked at me with disgust and horror.

Realising that I had used the death of my sister to sexually manipulate my mother he called me a psychopath.

But I disagree.

I wasn't a psychopath.

What was a psychopath?

To summarise it briefly, it was someone who lacked empathy and remorse.

This alone was enough for me to know I wasn't one.

I feel guilt as well as empathy.

I don't lack these, I just control them well.

I only love one thing and that's the law of the jungle. That the strong prey on the weak.

So when the strong had become prey for the weak I felt a fever rush. It filled my mind with ecstasy, it gave me incredible pleasure.

The strong Tatsumaki had become prey for the weak Tatsuya.

This realisation changed my worldview.

I had a hard time accepting it but the reason I was happy was that it was me breaking this norm, mostly because of the System but technically the system belonged to me so in essence it was still the same.

But Tatsumaki... She ruined everything.

She broke the happy delusion I was in. If I were truly strong then I could've prevented her from killing herself.

I failed.

I had become conceited.

Her self-destructing was something I had never even considered.

Partly due to the obsession I had with my own life, I couldn't understand how someone could so easily give up on living, and partly due to Tatsumaki's relationship with her sister and her obsessiveness.

Why would Tatsumaki kill herself?

The cold breeze pushed itself against my body, making my hair flutter.

My mind was submerged in sudden relaxation and my furious heart started calming down.

I hadn't gone mad to the point of craziness. While staring at her corpse earlier I was simply contemplating the reason she killed herself.

And when I realised why... I laughed.

I laughed till it hurt.

I've never laughed so much in my life.

It was so simple, so silly.

Everything had been going too smoothly for me. It was natural for me to let my guard down after having various characters under my palm.

The funny part was that I didn't even have to use any supernatural means.

Just words. Just information.

These two things made them completely fall under me.

I had become arrogant.

The weak don't prey on the strong.

This wouldn't change.

I had completely triggered the prideful Tatsumaki with my words without realising it.

When I hinted that I would return to her world with her I was initially joking because the probability of us going to the One Punch Man world was very low.

I didn't have the powers to travel world from world by my choice, only Tatsumaki thought so.

So considering her strength I was happy to have a strong companion along. Unless the world was too strong like Dragon Ball Tatsumaki would for sure be a powerhouse.

With her around I would've had a convenient bodyguard to any of the worlds I would go to.

Her beauty was just an added benefit.

Her strength which was completely under my control, that was the main source of my happiness and yet Tatsumaki shat on it.

She destroyed my happiness in mere seconds.

But it was my fault. I pushed her too far.

Her sister whom I had thought would be her weakness became the entire reason she killed herself.

Tatsumaki knew that if I were to go to her world as well then I wouldn't spare Fubuki regardless.

Things became simple after that.

To lie in death's peaceful embrace... Or be humiliated all her life while watching her precious sister share the same fate...?

I empathised with her.

I completely understood her feelings.

But it was because I understood her feelings I couldn't stand it. It was fine if you wanted to escape but to leave behind such a splendid display of mockery and disdain?

That I couldn't bear.

Empathising with her was a different thing altogether. In reality what Tatsumaki did was cockblock me, destroy my plans and even waste my Summoning Card.

Who is to say when I'll get another one? Who is to say the next summoned character would be as strong as Tatsumaki?

It was unbearable.

Did she really think she could cause me such a loss and simply run away?

Never.

...

It didn't take me long to reach my destination.

The night moon glistened beautifully enhancing the natural background. Looking at the sky I felt a sense of weakness.

In this vast universe, how different was I from a little bug?

What right did I have to be arrogant?

Such realisations entered my heart but I wasn't mad.

It made me more peaceful, more content.

What lay in the future, who knew?

But right now I had something important to do so I re-focused my attention on the individual sitting on the bench with her hands spread wide.

There weren't a lot of students around so I discreetly removed the cloak of invisibility and approached the lone individual.

"Hmm?" The individual looked back with a curious expression upon hearing my footsteps, "Oh?"

Glossy blood red eyes stared at me with an amused expression.

"What pleasure do I have to grace the 'Madman of the First Years' with at the moment?"

Sharp yet sweet, pleasing to the ears.

A soft smile naturally found its way to my face.

"Kiryuin Senpai."
